I wasn’t alive to ever knew about what happened that fateful day. But they did teach us extensively on what happened when I grew older. I still remember those days when I was sitting there angry. Thinking “How could anyone do this?”. Now... five years later, I am a senior in Highschool. And I’ve sworn into the United States Armed Forces, and Marine Corps. Even today I remember one of the reasons why I’m joining, and that was so tragedies like 9/11 wont happen again. So families, and my family included, won’t have to fear for their lives on their own home soil. God bless America and it’s people. No matter what ethnicity or religion they are. No matter what views they have.

I was 4 when this happened. My family and I were vacationing in Paris, France, and it was on the news. I didn't exactly understand what had happened, but I knew it was serious from the shocked expressions on my parents' faces. And those French, I know we Americans like to joke about them all the time, but the day after it happened, all of Paris stopped at noon for 2 minutes of silence as a tribute to those who perished. People came up to us on the streets, in the airports, wherever we were to express their condolences for what happened in our nation. I don't think anything has hit this nation's complacency harder than that attack.

I was 4 when it happened. I remember school ending early because of it. As a 4 year old I was excited for school to be out early. I saw my parents staring at the TV screen. Even with me jumping up and down saying I was home, it didn't phase them. I will never forget their faces..

i was 8 when this happened now im 21 and i still remember waking up and seeing this on tv at the time i didnt understand, Now i feel so much sympathy and heart break thinking back to that day and how many lives were effected and changed.

9/11 was a day I won't ever forget. I was 5 at the time. I remember that we were let out of school early that day. At the time I didn't know why we were being let out so early. As I got home, I saw both my Mother and my Father, staring at the TV. The looks on their faces I will never forget. It wasn't until the age of 11 I understood the seriousness of that day. The horror, and why I left school so early. At the age of 16, I questioned that horrible day. Who committed it, what was used other than planes, how everything was possible. I am now 19. As I still question that day, I do not forget those that perished before our very eyes. 9/11 taught all of us something. Many learned, some are still trying to learn. What I learned is that even on the most horrific days, men and women will still go out of their way to give a helping hand, their friends, family, neighbors, citizens, and country need it the most.

I was 4 years old when 9/11 came. I remember getting ready for kindergarden when my dad suddenly rushed through our door and told my mother to turn the TV on. I remember that giant building burning live on TV but didn't really understand it, America is a long way from here after all. But when I didn't have to go to kindergarden anymore I sure felt the gravity.

I was 16, and a Sophmore in high school. I had just finished 2nd period Life Science and was headed for 3rd period Comp Lit. My school was 2 stories and we had a student body of about 2000. Every classroom had a TV for morning announcements, and both floor locker banks had 4 more tvs. Every TV set in the school had the news on, and we watched live footage as both towers came down. The emotions we all felt can never properly be understood by those not around then, or were so young, their world was as small as they were. With the country as torn and divided as it is right now, I fear that something like this or worse will be the only thing that reunites us.

So much emotions and memories in one song.. September 11th 2001.. The date when everything changed. The day where everybody got a reality check. No more freedom that my family and I used to enjoy at airports, at home or at school. Everything we do is being checked upon now. Internet, Airport, Schools, Phones ... when can things come back as it was before September 26th 2001? Yes, the name of the song is very true. I really want to forget that september too.

This music allows you to enjoy the peace, freedom, and solitude within your own mind.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but here goes. I was eight when Sept. 11th happened. I'm now a 22 year old college student and there is a Muslim girl in one of my classes. She's a bit shy, but nice. I look at her and think here sits a quiet, polite girl who wears her headscarf every day, facing down the stares of people. She is the antithesis of everything terrorists and ISIS are proclaiming, and she is incredible.

Love this. Makes me think real hard about my future. Great upload

I was scavenging through TSFH songs, bumped into this one, took a second to think... Then decided to leave a comment, this very day removed a possibility of peace in my lifetime, of no wars, and here we are fighting over who's god is better or if any god even exists, ending innocent lives that have not had their dream fulfilled, or have not lived to see a peaceful day where the world has no wars, not a threat to be seen, if only the world would stop this conflict over things that should not even have conflict, only then should humanity see a fine day, sometimes I wish a day like this could come, it would be one of my dying wishes, for humanity to just stop, and think of the beauty that is destroyed under the ash of war, and for me to see it, along with my wish to bring everyone entertainment, but this day, have made the present worse,and have removed the chance of such utopia happening, and at the rate we are going, we may end all of the earths richest beauties which is the life that resides on it, we have been given a gift and all we do is ruin it with war, why must we be so cruel to ourselves!

September 11, 2001 the Day when everything has changed.

This song is just... beautiful. Sad and beautiful.

I was 11 when I was getting ready to go fly out to see my grandparents when MCI called my home as we stepped out canceling my flight due to the events that happened. The minute we saw the images on my tv was the death of my childhood innocence

And here I thought I'd be going into the comment thread reading messages from truthers. Either the Google+ system is working in blocking unwanted comments, or there's actually a glimmer of hope in humanity.

I was one years old when that happened. I like to hear the accounts of the survivors, of how they escaped and what it was like for them.

I was only 5. September 10th it was a good day for me. I was outside with friends and when it was time to go inside I was told that I could go to the movies and see whatever i wanted (that was for kids of course) that night i went to sleep and had believed the World to be an amazing place. There was no cruelty. Then the next day when i woke up. It seemed as if the World had stopped. I went to the living room and glanced at the tv for a brief second. Then i noticed the look on my family's faces. I looked at the tv once more and thats when I realized how cruel the World truely was :/

I don't know where I was. I was only three at the time. But this event has gone on to define me and my generation. History will most likely judge us as those who went to war with an idea. An entire generation's future and legacy defined by just one day. It just goes to show how often and how easily history can be made and how effects the future.

Coming back every year and remembering the towers and the people that we'll never get to meet

I had just turned two only a month before. They say traumatic memories impact children at a young age more than adults, i can believe in that. It was my first vivid memory, i remember my parents sitting in front of the tv, watching the aftermath of the first impact. I was young, but knew something was very wrong when a second plane blew through the other tower. Years later i found out that my friend jennifer lost her mother, who was in the north tower, that day. I hate the people who did this. I dont hate muslims, i hate anyone of any religion who has the drive to blow up innocent people or run passenger jets into the pentagon, the north and south towers. The brave passengers aboard flight 93, who wrestled the terrorists for control of the plane, may their souls have rest. The day Osama Bin Laden's death was announced, people were very solemn about it, i was so happy. Nothing pleased me more than to see one of the minds behind that day, dead. He deserved far worse, but sadly his pain was short. I wished they had done more than shoot him, and i understand how the raid went down and how that was impossible after a point, but i thought it was an easy way out for someone who damaged a country, a people, so much.

I had just woken up and this was the first thing on the news. I had not even gotten out of bed yet. It's a day like the day I could first consciously remember anything. I can't forget it.

I remember every moment of that war and i always hanged on to know what those soldiers went through because i have a feeling i will feel what they went through here soon.

Another sad day in history ... another, like so many others.

Just looking at this painting is emotional, I can't even begin to explain how much empathy I feel for all those at 9/11 I was only a few months old but I look at it now and think. How many lives were lost all for nothing?

Wow, I do remember Septemeber 11, 2001!!!!

Im 14 years old and know nothing of this day but i like the music

Towards the end I heard firetruck sirens and commotion; At first I thought it was a good addition to the song, to remember 9/11. Then I realized the sound was coming from outside at my neighbors burning house. ;_;

This song remind me when so many lives gone thanks to the pain and sorrow we all face :'(

I still remember that day... It'll be a scar that will never heal properly. The same will be true for many of us. A lot of people died that day...

September 11, 2015 today, Never Forget.

i remember seeing it back when i was then 8.. i already knew what death felt like just before because my grandmother had died to cancer... and my mother had spent months preparing me, so that i would not sit there wondering why she wouldn't move when time came... and when i saw the news... my heart sank. I was a very aware child... a friend of my mother had suicide thoughts.. and 5 year old me came over to her when she needed it the most and told her. "Stop thinking that way, stop talking bad about yourself... you are a good person and i am happy to know you.".. my mother told me later.. that that had been like a wake up call for her friend... a slap to the face. It's a shame that when i turned 14... she drove herself into the deepest part of the ocean she could find... as i was too far away to help her then.. and rest in peace... my two class mates.. christer tarasenko and christian larsen.. who died in a motorcycle accident in norway... 2015.. the world can be a cruel place sometimes.. may all those that lost their lives way too early... rest in peace..

I was only six when this happened. I remember seeing the twin towers on fire and that's it. KZfaq recommended a few videos to me the other day, and I watched it all happen. From the news forecasting a beautiful day, to the first plane crashin, and all the way to when they collapse. It is- a heavy reality. I wanted to learn the truth. And to be honest, I feel content and at peace to know everything that happened. Down to the dark and heartbreaking details. Because that day must never be forgotten, and I want to share whatever burden I can. I know the survivors and first responders' lives were changed forever, and I want to honor them as well as the victims. God bless them all.

I can't believe it's been twenty years.

September 11, 2001, 8:00 AM I was sitting in first period Biology class, second row, second seat when history teacher barges in and says someone just hit the world trade center. Vivid as the day it happened. Never forget....

Never forget.... Who remembered to listen to this song in 2017?

Beautiful.

that`s beautiful.

in 6th grade when this happened...also the day i decided that matter what, i would join the military. I dont regret doing so and glad i served.

wooow what a song (tear in my eye)?????

In Airports, they have high security officers who are armed and they also have security dogs after 9/11. Did airports have this much security before 9/11 or not? For example, a few weeks back, I travelled with my Dad and his fiancèe to Wales for their wedding and it was the first time I had ever flown. Now, at Heathrow Airport, there was so many armed security officers and there was also armed police officers too as well as sniffer dogs and german shepherds, but it was alright though, they didn't point guns at me lol

All that happened 14 years ago. It is not the same looking at one tower...

I remember 9/11, I was 10 and at the moment, on tv, I understood exactly what happened: the USA got a reality check, an awful one, but they woke from the illusion they were untouchable. Happy newyear everyone! Lets hope it's a good one, without any fear.

kinda off topic but Comedy Central's Key and Peele had this amazing song in one of their skits.

I was in history class in high school watching history being made. So sad

God, what would it be like to be a fighter pilot and see all those lives lost and damage done, only to hope you could've stopped it?

I try...I really try. knowing the truth about this murder of so many. it wasn't only honest Americans who died. I'm sure that after this event. it wasn't something that we could turn an eye too. because this indecent marked the beginning of a world siege on every continent. it's sad to think that for such selfish reasons so many good have died. the two Towers that fell on that day. it signifies something greater then war itself. remembrance, effort and the blood of so many good and innocent. may God forgive but may we never forget..

I feel depressed :(

i had my 4th birthday when i saw on tv how the planes crashed into the Towers.

The brain is always in control of what we do, we have no control over it. Those terrorists (not making it any better, not saying they were good cause they weren't) pretty much did what they did because either they had a very bad life, say childhood or their brains were fucked, you know, wired differently. Reason why I say that is because I've known a few people who were the most nicest of people, they had an accident, damaged the part of their brain which controlled feelings, emotions. Guess what? They were completely different, they weren't so nice anymore, it could have been the same for the terrorists who did what they had done.... Like I said, the brain is always in control of what we do, we have no control over it Ps: not trying to justify or make excuses by the way. The music is very emotional

Why the hell are there suggestions for Miley Cyrus on the side? KZfaq really is broken.

10 Dislikers are ISIS.

I think I was 1 when this happened Kinda sick of all the jokes about the attack

I was just 1 years old when the plane crashed into the world trade center.

The date the police state truely started

The Progressive Trance version is way better.
